The new iPad Air and iPad mini should work in 34 countries and we will pick a few carriers that should work with.

In the US the new iPads will work on AT&T, Verizon and T-mobile but also on Aio, Bluegrass, C Spire, GCI, Sprint and US Cellular the total of 9 providers. In Canada they work on Bell (including Virgin), MTS, Rogers (including Fido), Sasktel and Telus (including Koodo).

In Germany they work on T-mobile and Vodafone, in France on Bouygues, Orange and SFR, in the UK on EE and Vodafone in Spain on Orange, Telefonica and Vodafone. The list is way too long to go country by country but some smaller countries such as Austria and Czech republic and already on the list which was not the case before.

The complete list is below, but the 5th generation iPad Air and the new retina iPad mini will work in even more countries and providers as long as they support one of 14 listed bands. The fourth generation iPad and iPad mini were coming in two different models, fit for North America or for the rest of the world.

Frequent travellers will like the fact that the list of supported bands and countries was expanded, but at the same time they would have to pay attention not to burn their wallets with usual insanely expensive data rates abroad.
